20 famous immigrants to the UK, in pictures

The German composer George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) moved to England in
1712. He received a yearly income of £200 from Queen Anne after he composed
for her Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, celebrating the treaty which ended the
War of Spanish Succession. The Mayfair house where he lived for 36 years is
now a museum devoted
to him.
